CHRISTMAS AT AVON VALLEY
It has been a tradition since 2004 that we
serve our staff and students a traditional
Christmas lunch with all the trimmings. The
canteen staff, led by Mrs Hopkins our
Catering Manager, have worked hard to
ensure it is cooked fresh every day as well
as providing other meals for the rest of the
school.
Friday, 9th December was the start of our
celebrations with Year 11 dining together.
Monday 12th December saw the students
and staff from Apollo house join together for
their lunch. This tradition will continue until
Thursday with the remaining three houses
following suit.
It is a special time at school as we share this event with our friends,
colleagues and students. Our thanks go to the ladies of the
catering team in going the extra mile, yet again.
This week also sees us holding our Celebration Assemblies for
each year group. At the end of each term, it is a long-standing
tradition at Avon Valley that students’ hard work and
achievement are celebrated during the Gold Book
assemblies. Each subject has nominated 2
students in each year group and as a result, 200
students across the school have received a Gold
Book award this week. Congratulations to them
all and we look forward to holding these
assemblies again at Easter.
Our final assembly for 2016 is a reflection
of the year, with music and dance. We
always finish with our staff pantomime
when our staff draw on their theatrical
side to entertain the students; it has to
be seen to be believed! This is a fitting
way to end our term as we all break up
to celebrate Christmas with our families
and friends.
